Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger said he won’t say anything for or against pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong because doing so could harm his company.
The executive, speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live conference in Laguna Beach, California, Tuesday evening, said he has spoken up about political topics in the past when he thinks it was in the best interest of the company, but doesn’t think it’s a good idea with China today.
